But today, he doesn't say anything.

Jose's performance left the referee speechless.

When all the players left the penalty area, Jose finally kicked the back of the net.

"Bang".

After Jose's all-out kick, the ball turned into a streamer and flew towards Porto's goal.

Jose is this going to shoot straight at goal?

Of course not.

The Villa Park stadium is not small, although Jose has the blessing of violent heavy artillery, but it is absolutely impossible to directly penetrate the senior goalkeeper to score.

So, the ball went to Fabiano's feet.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a goal kick for Porto.

"One more chance to attack?" With the ball at his feet, Fabiano inevitably wouldn't think so.

Fabiano decisively opted for a quick goal-kick.

However, the results showed that it was clearly that he was overthinking.

As soon as the goal kick was taken, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Villa beat Porto 1-0 to advance to the quarter-finals.

The results of the subsequent draw were announced, and Villa's 1/4 knockout opponent was La Liga powerhouse Sevilla.

Sevilla's performance in the Europa League, needless to say, was definitely against the sky.

It was definitely not an easy task for Vera to get through them.

In addition, there is one more thing that José needs to pay attention to, and that is that the first leg against Serbia is scheduled for April 3, which means that there are only 13 days to adjust.

For 13 days, only 13 stunts can be recovered.

Although Jose can save most of his shots without special effects, he will never allow the slightest mistake in order to be stable.

And, over the course of 13 days, Villa will host Stoke City and then Manchester United away.

…

Three days later, on March 24, the 31st round of the Premier League continued.

At Villa Park Stadium, the weather is generally sunny, with occasional clouds, and the temperature is between -2~8 degrees.

Stoke City kicks off first.

Peters crosses from the wing.

Inside the Villa box, Crouch heads in the goal.

The angle was too positive, and the ball flew straight into José's arms.

Stoke City's high-flying style of play has made Villa's players uncomfortable.

Baker's ability to compete for the top is not bad, but with a striker as high as Crouch, he still can't take any advantage.

However, the Villa team quickly adapted to the rhythm.

In the fifth minute, Villa had a good chance to open the scoring.

Near the baseline on the left side of the penalty area, Delph crosses back to the middle.

The ball is at the feet of Benteke.

From 10 yards, Benteke fired straight at him.

The ball sped towards the top right corner of the goal.

Stoke City goalkeeper Begovic was completely out of control.

The ball went in.

Villa took an early lead.

…

With the score down, Stoke City began to fight back.

It's just that most of the time it's not a big threat.

In the 22nd minute, Stoke City finally played the most threatening combination of the game.

Crouch receives a pass from a teammate.

He didn't choose to shoot on his own.

Instead, the header was crossed into the six-yard box and the ball reached the feet of Oldumwingi.

Oldumwinji shoots straight into the bottom left corner.

The angle of the shot is tricky and the ball speed is not slow.

Normally, it's a must-score.

Unfortunately, it was Jose who was in the goal today.

The moment Crouch's header was ferried, Jose's god-level prediction reacted.

For Oldumunji's shot, it was actually entirely in Jose's design.

He pretended to move towards the right side of the goal, thus directing Oldumwingi to choose to push to the left.

And when the opponent shoots, Jose is extremely rushed towards the left side of the goal.

In Oldumwinge's annoyed eyes, Jose directly blocked his shot.

…

Although Oldumwingi's shot was saved by Jose, Stoke City were not going to slow down.

Just four minutes later, Stoke City had another chance to open the scoring.

Peters' cross from the left side of the box.

A number of Stoke City players have already entered the Villa penalty area at this time.

Ten yards in front of goal, Villa's backline was unmarked by Crouch.

Jose wanted to alert his teammates, but it was too late.

Peters' pass, to Crouch's feet.

Crouch shoots straight into the bottom right corner.

Unlike Oldumwingie's shot, Crouch's shot was fast.

"Take a gamble." José did his best and pounced towards the left side of the goal, like a hungry tiger.

If Jose had used a stunt, Crouch's shot on goal, he could have saved it easily.

However, in order to ensure that José has enough stunts to cope with in the Europa League, he must learn to rely on his own ability.

Surprisingly, José succeeded.

He single-handedly blocked Crouch's shot off the line.

Stoke City win a corner on the right.

Stoke City's corner went straight to the middle.

Facing Crouch, who is taller than himself, Jose confiscated the ball directly in front of him.

Jose's height is not comparable to Crouch, but his hand length and bounce power completely crush Crouch.

…

The game continues.

Villa's attack was still weak and could not threaten Begovic at all.

In the blink of an eye, the game had come to the 42nd minute.

Nathan Baker made a big mistake.

Arnautovic passes the ball to the edge of the gourd in the Villa penalty area.

Baker stepped forward to intercept.

However, instead of blocking the ball, he let it slip away from his feet.

Nzongzi snatched the ball.

He chose to shoot directly with his feet, and the ball was so fast that it turned into a white light on the spot and flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

Enzongzi's shot was so sudden that most people would not have thought that Baker would intercept the mistake.

The ball was then too fast, and although the shot was from a full 20 yards, it left less time for the goalkeeper to react than Oldumwinji's shot.

Just when everyone thought Nzunzi would equalise for Stoke City, Jose played with a stroke of wonder and kept the ball out with his left hand as it was about to cross the goal line.

"Oh my God, that's what a Premier League Golden Glove winner is capable of?" A fan left a message and asked.

"The guy upstairs must not have watched the Premier League very much, since he doesn't even know Jose's ability. To tell you, it's just normal play. ”

"Jose's penalty kick is called terrifying, and the success rate is more than eighty percent."

……

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

At halftime, after a rebuke from Paul Lambert, Baker's defensive focus was a little bit more focused.

Baker and Clarke are both Villa academy players, and with pure defensive ability, Clark needs to be stable.

But Clark, like Vlar, lacks the ability to defend against high balls.

So the head coach chose Baker over the more stable Clark.

In the second half, the attack and defense of the two sides were finally balanced, and neither got too good a chance.

The second half of the game looked particularly dull compared to the first half.

Just when everyone thought that Villa would win 1-0 at home.

Stoke City had another good chance to open the scoring.

In the 90th minute, Stoke City attacked in a big way.

Arnautovic broke through with the ball on the left.

After bursting into the Villa penalty area, he shook off Bacuna's interception and sent in a left-footed cross.

The ball crossed in front of Villa's goal and went straight to the right side of the box.

On the right side of the small penalty area, the unmarked Stoke City right full-back Camlon received a pass from his teammate, and without any pause, pushed directly into the near corner.

Jose had just moved from the left side of the goal to the right.

Camron's shot from close range was difficult for Jose to save, even with a timeout.
